RETAIN tip: H187817

Issue

Some firewalls are configured by default to block network ports which are used by the MegaRAID Storage Manager (MSM) to connect to clients.

These must be enabled or the result will be a failure to connect to the client.

Please refer to MegaRAID documentation for more information on TCP/IP port settings.

• ServeRAID-MR10M SAS/SATA Controller, option 43W4339

Solution

If there are connectivity issues with MSM, the user should check their operating system firewall settings to assure the operating system firewall is not preventing the connection of the MSM server to the MSM client.

Additional information

Some operating system firewalls will prevent MSM server from connecting to the client. The user should adjust their firewall settings to allow connectivity.
